Wednesday 21 November 2012

Yet again the weather prevented any patch walk this afternoon, heavy rain and gales battered the area for a time this afternoon, and it barely got light at all, even my garden feeders were quite in the conditions :-(

The only thing to report was that a single male HOUSE SPARROW briefly visited the garden, the first to do so since October 7th! This is the 25th species to visit my garden this month - the best November list for the garden since I moved here 13 years ago  :-)

A few more garden images from last weekend  -:
I'd set up a bowl of peanuts below this convenient perch, hoping that the Jay would be enticed to sit here, which it eventually did (see below) but not before this WREN had a look in first !
Two hours of waiting brought me a photographic opportunity eventually  ;-)

Patience well rewarded. I can't stand these bloody dark evenings, very depressing indeed.

Davo,
That Jay was ringed by the local ringer down the lane from me, two years ago :-)

Most days it hardly gets light here, I hate it!

It was well worth waiting for the Jay on the stump photos Warren, really beautiful :-)
